Circulating levels of inflammatory mediators in adult falciparum malaria patients compared with healthy controls.

Boldface type indicates statistical significance. The concentration of the various cytokines is given in pg/mL.
1) Data for two patients were missing.
2) Univariable analysis with the Mann-Whitney test.
3) Calculated by penalised logistic regression, where IP-10 appear as a much stronger indicator of malaria infection compared to the healthy controls, than the other mentioned cytokines. The arrow indicates reduced cytokine levels in malaria patients compared with healthy controls.
